Suggestive Argument.

The following very suggestive para
graph appears In the Charleston Nsws
and Oourier OF few dAys ago:
Two colorsd men who had hrst-clAss
tickets were driven from tirst- clAse
car on the Georgia railroad on Friday.
A number Of armed men, who had been
seteerAphed for. entered the train ut
Conyers, and the oolored men there
upon left the car In which they had
bssn sitting, and went into the car IS.
signed TO colorsd people. The railway
company was not In any way responst-
Bile for the scA OF the per-o3s who en-
tered the train. By the conductor the
colored men had been req uested TO 90
into the car provided for pei SOUS OF their
fsoe, They refused.

taken the hint and gone lnso the dirty,

night where they were sitting, In the
presenos Of other passengers, many Of
them perhaps women and children.
Bat the colorsd passengers knew the
srrand OF the armed men. OF course
they did, and not being prepared to lay
their lives down just then for princi.

preferred going into . oar wish tndiffer'

Colored passengers pay the same prict

Island Notes.

The residents at Peaks Island observed
Fourth of July in an appropriate manner
and thousands of visitors thronged the
island during the day. The small boys cele-
brated during the early morning hours, and
at nine a squad of antiques and horribles
paraded. Great crowds attended Greenwood
Garden. AT the temperance meeting in the
rink there was not large attendance. The
programme was carried out as announced
There was no disorderly conduct during the
day.
Cottagers at Evergreen Landing had a
meeting in the old bowling alley, which is
now well fitted hall, in the evening. DR..
Totten had chargd of the exercises which
consisted of reading by Mr.. A. B. Merrill,
dialogue by Sammie and Oracle Merrill, re-
citation by Miss Maud Harvey and charades
by Mr.. Scott Harvey. A supper concluded
the entertainment.
The Methodist quarterly conference will
be held at the chhrch at Peaks Island
Thursday. The presiding elder will preach.
The young men of Long Island celebrated
the Fourth with game of base ball between
the Westend and Eastend clubs, the score
resulting in favor of the Westend club. The
defeated club furnished dinner at Cushing's
and MitchelPs. There was go-as-you-
please race between /. +. Hughes horse and
James Wallace's horse, over the new road

Burglary on High Street.

Last Saturday night DIR. j ohm Buzzell, who
resides on High street, was alone in his
house, with the exception of his domestic,
who had gone to bed. AS the doctor was
much exhausted by his professional work
during the day, coupled with the great heat,
he thought he would try and cool off before
going to bed himself. So he went into the
MUSHROOM in the second story-which con-
meets with his bed-room-threw his coat and
vest on chair, and sat in shirt and trousers
by the open window tanning himself. In
the pocket of his coat was his pocket book
containing over $50, and in the vest pocket
valuable gold watch.
After he had become somewhat rested and
cooled, the doctor about IL o'clock, went into
his bedroom, and entirely undressed, throw
ing the trousers on the back of chair. He
soon went to sleep. At o'clock he was
awakened by call for his services but felt
unable to go and directed the caller to anoth-
er physician. He noticed nothing unusual
and was soon asleep again.
In the morning the servant found the doc
tors trousers on the parlor floor, and his
pocket case of instruments on the stove in
the basement kitchen. There were also evil
dences that two people had enjoyed quite
meal, and that they had looked over the sill
ver-ware, put aside the most of it with eyi
dent disgust, because it was plated, and left
by the basement window Probably they
entered the house between II and o'clock,
and may have been frightened away when
the call was made for the doctor
